}} {{#if: Shadow mastery has a fixed stamina cost of 20 and lasts for 3 minutes, but this cost triples to 60 if it is used during the effect's "cooldown" period, which lasts for 5 minutes after activation. Note that if the maneuver is active on a character with 5 ranks, the effects of the third, fourth, and fifth ranks are cumulative, nominally reducing hiding and sneaking from the standard 3 seconds down to 1 second while activated. With Rank 1 of Shadow Dance, a rogue will have Shadow Mastery permanently active with no stamina cost. Rank 4 of Shadow Mastery is also a prerequisite for rogues to learn Vanish. Rank 5 of Shadow Mastery is also a prerequisite for rogues to learn Shadow Dance.
